Why These Canadian Cannabis Stocks Deserve a Spot on Your Watchlist
The Canadian cannabis sector is gaining momentum as investor interest rises ahead of June 2025. Top names like Tilray Brands (TLRY), Canopy Growth (CGC), and Village Farms (VFF) are leading the charge. These companies are building strategic exposure to the expanding U.S. cannabis market. The U.S. cannabis industry is projected to surpass $45 billion in value by 2025. Additionally, consumer demand continues to grow as more states legalize recreational and medical marijuana. As a result, Canadian companies with U.S. operations may benefit from cross-border growth. This dynamic makes them strong candidates for watchlists this week. Furthermore, increasing consolidation and product innovation are driving competition. Canadian firms are now positioning themselves for long-term success.

I Still Like Village Farms For Cannabis Investors Despite The Big Rally
Village Farms' spin-off of its produce business will transform it into a pure-play cannabis company, unlocking value and simplifying its structure. Despite a recent 57% rally, VFF remains undervalued relative to peers, with a strong balance sheet and significant upside potential based on EBITDA multiples. Key risks include the Vanguard JV deal not closing, warrant overhang, and NASDAQ compliance, but the $40M cash inflow should strengthen the company's position.
